Chasing Coral (2017 Netflix Documentary Film)
I have never been a fan of documentary films before. But since the time I decided to really immerse myself in different films, I have learned that movies should have no boundaries. That I should take away my preferences and just watch about everything. The result of this self-induced process …
The Hot Chick Movie
This movie is one of Rob Schneider’s movie and I have seen this a couple of times on HBO already but I still want to watch it every time it’s being shown. It also features Anna Faris and Rachel McAdams when they were still not famous and I really …
Night Shift movie
I absolutely loved Henry Winkler when he portrayed the Fonze on Happy Days. As a movie star, I think he’s OK in a supporting role. When it comes to carrying a movie, like he did in Night Shift, he’s just not that good.
The idea behind Night Shift was a …
A Woman Under the Influence
I saw this movie going on some time ago on a certain channel although I cannot remember exactly which one. I hesitated to watch it at the time too since I realised that the movie was actually a movie from the seventies and I tend not to like most …
Ninga Turtles Cartoon
The teenage mutant ninga turtles, is a cartoon that has cartoon turtles that know karate. The turtles all fight to help protect the city, they save people and fight crime. The show seems like it has a kind of weird concept, but it really is a great cartoon …
K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …
Mr. Woodcock
“Mr Woodcock” is a good comic movie; however I personally would have preferred that the main part went to a different actor rather than Billy Bob Thornton. In this movie, Thornton tried to interpret “Mr Woodcock” to his best of abilities, however while watching this film I couldn’t help …
The Incredible Hulk II
I just saw Incredible Hulk II and I don’t know really what to say. no words can describe how I enjoyed watching this film which was superbly done. The special effects, the digital enhancements are all perfect! When I first saw the trailer and found out that Edward Norton …
Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …
Grindhouse: Planet Terror (NR, 2007)
I skipped this one in theatres. I’d seen something else that Quentin Tarantino recently released, and I wasn’t pleased. But then I realized that Planet Terror is actually the brain-child of Robert Rodriguez. This film was so much better than I thought it was going to …
Locked Up (2004)
Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, this one even beats being caught with your pants down. This is a case of mistaken identity that caused an innocent man to be incarcerated in a highly securely penitentiary where he is charged for murder. He didn’t …
Katha (Hindi Movie)
This is one of the better entertainers I have seen in Indian cinema. Katha, meaning ’story’, is directed by Sai Paranjpe, and she has done a fantastic job to narrate ‘Chawl’ (a big house where different people live together, and are allotted one room each - they have a …
Blood The Last Vampire [DVD]. Animated horror movie
Blood: The Last Vampire offers wonderful animation, grisly action, and an awesome main character, but lacks in overall length and depth of what truly could have been a perfect title. Saya is on the hunt for chiropterans, vampire-like demons that are wreaking havoc on a military base in Japan. …
Mamma Mia! movie
From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …
Pathfinder
Pathfinder with Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood, and Russell Means.
The location was somewhere in North America 500 years before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The brutal Viking warriors came from Scandinavia looking for slaves. It is a simple story, but I found it to …
Saw (movie)
Saw is one of my favorite new horror movies. This movie is a classic in my eyes. It’s a very creative story and plot. Saw is very original and had some great acting in it. I really liked the villain named JigSaw. When I saw him speak on the TV …
She’s Out of My League Movie
I finally watched She’s Out of My League last night. I’ve seen the movie trailer and behind the scenes stuff at HBO a couple of months ago and I liked it. It’s one of the romantic comedy movies that you see, have a few laughs and then totally …

Final Destination 5 (movie)
Final Destination 5 is supposed to be the final installment of the series, and hopefully for movie goers such as me, the studio actually means it. This film was probably the second worst movie of the franchise with its predictable plot and obvious scene transitions in the movie.
The movie …
Silverado movie
Silverado stars Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, and Danny Glover. This is the classic cowboy western that was produced after its time and followed the successful formulas of great music, beautiful scenery, and familiar faces in supporting roles.
When the movie first appears on the …
The Glass Bottom Boat in Catalina - movie short
One of my favorite Doris Day films is “The Glass Bottom Boat” in which she stars with Rod Taylor and Arthur Godfrey. From 1966, The Glass Bottom Boat in Catalina is a movie short that promotes the movie. It’s narrated by Godfrey, who goes back and forth …
Full Metal Jacket (1987) movie

To support herself and her extended family Sofia works as a dance hall girl and sometimes prostitute. Despite her efforts her …
Ice Age 2
I’ll start out by saying Ice Age 2 is a good family movie and is certainly enjoyable.
However, after watching it this weekend, I felt very unsatisfied.
The first Ice Age was a unique and funny movie. The second one was poorly scripted and didn’t seem to have as much …

The Martian (Film 2015)

Movie Shrek 3
I loved the first movie of Shrek, and my family and I watched over and over again. Too funny! WE also saw Shrek 2 and I thought that the movie was good, which is pretty crazy for a second. Usually second movies are not worth the money that you …
Warrior 2011 Film
Although Warrior came out in 2011 I never heard of it until recently and so I decided to watch it and see if it was any good. Warrior is an action drama film that was made in 2011, the film stars actors such as Tom hardy and Joel …

Nell movie
Nell is the film where award-winning actress Jodie Foster first tries her hand at directing, so I thought it should be worth watching. It has such a weird premise; a woman is raised without any human companion and brought up in the wild. The lady of course …

Movie War
This is a rather tricky movie for me to review, as I really didn’t pay attention to what was going on. It’s not that I have a short attention span, OK I do but that wasn’t the problem here, it was the fact that I couldn’t understand a …
The Killer movie
The Killer is John Woo’s Hong Kong action movie from the late 80s that has cult reputation in some circuits. It is a most intense film with an extreme quick pace. A cop and a villain chase each other in a game of death, and the action sequences are …

Interstellar, movie
As a big fan of science fiction with cosmic themes, I decided to watch Interstellar despite the busy exam period. In the end, the movie absolutely worth the ticket price. If you are also a big fan of science fiction, do not read my review anymore and go watch …

Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost
Last night, I once again sat down with my daughter to watch a movie with her. And, of course, I let her pick the film. She chose Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. And, for the most part, I liked her decision.
This is a newer Scooby Doo film, as …
Cone Heads
There are quite a few movies out there that got their start as Saturday Night Live skits. One of those, Coneheads, is actually not that bad of a movie.
The movie focuses on the Conehead family, a family of aliens who are trying to pretend to be a normal suburban …
Battle Los Angeles: Movie
Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.
Since I watched the disappointing “Monsters” a few months ago, BLA gave me hope for a good alien invasion picture. I was slightly disappointed I have to admit.
The story isn’t …
Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit movie
The latest Wallace & Gromit film is the first one with these to characters to come out in a long time. Everything about it is just so good as you could ever ask from an animation film these days. Excellent look, believable, funny and interesting plot. Most of all …

The Europeans (1979)
This 1979 movie has failed my expectations, big time. It is based on a novel by Henry James, and the story is set in 1850s � my favorite timeframe, so I thought I was going to love it. A wealthy American family lives a comfortable life in their house …
The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …
